Théâtre Alfred Jarry (1926-1928)
His interest in avant-garde literature and art and its most modern and provocative expressions during the interwar period, was the impetus behind the creation, together with Antonin Artaud and Roger Vitrac, of the Théâtre Alfred Jarry. Aron primarily worked as a producer for the theatre, which mounted four productions from 1926-1928. His experience left him questioning the revolutionary attributes of art. In a response to a disruption of theatre's production of Strindberg's A Dream Play by members of the Surrealist movement, Aron wrotethe Surrealists, whatever attributes they may have, by remaining within the literary or artistic domain, incur no risks except that which is most sought after as a consecration of their childish acts, namely a short stay in the police cells.For Aron, the work of the Théâtre Alfred Jarry, 'provoked the only dangerous and disturbances of a Surrealist nature' in the last two years, and were almost 'Revolutionary disturbances'.
